RIP Curtis Ogilvie, ofs

​It is with much sadness that I announce the death of our beloved Curtis Ogilvie, a member of our Ottawa fraternity, St. Francis of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Curtis passed on Tuesday July 23.  

Curtis was diagnosed with cancer a little over 3 1/2 years ago. He believed in the value of life and was a very strong advocate for the right to life. Curtis lived his life in true devotion to Our Lord and Mother Mary and was a humble witness right up to the end. Our dear Curtis passed onto his eternal reward at home, surrounded by his family but as his wife Linda said he "left his cancer behind"....he let go, and he let God. 

Curtis served as Vice Minister and as Minister of his fraternity and took Fr. Comtois' motto to heart. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity. Everyone who met Curtis, wanted to get to know him better, he was franciscan before becoming a Franciscan.

​His wife Linda has asked Carol David to be the point person from Franciscans while she arranges everything. So if you have any questions, please contact Carol.

Thank you for your prayers.  We will have a chance to celebrate Curtis' life and all our  members who have passed since our last get together in Cacouna at our next conference in August.
